MIT researchers created a revolutionary non-reflective glass where water bounces

What we see in the video is the announcement of a new type of nano crystal structure, a glass with revolutionary features where water bounces and there is no dirt. According to MIT, the glass is anti-fog and glare-free technology with clear implications for future devices. So far one of the most recognizable features of the crystal was the way light is reflected. With the new glass surface and form to create textures virtually eliminate reflections, an area that would make the water droplets bouncing like rubber balls.



A glass that researchers will put the label of "multifunctional" and is based on superficial nanotexturas produce a series of conical features, cleaned and resists fog or glare. As I said at the beginning, a crystal whose implications for the future and to carry out a process for manufacturing low cost, could be applied to optical devices, smartphone screens, televisions, solar panels, car windows or even buildings.


To give us an idea, the video was filmed with a Phantom high speed camera testing the capabilities of the structure with water. The result is that every drop on the surface eventually becomes a spherical ball that bounces. A new structure whose implications for the future are unimaginable.
